Were you offered a voucher for your cancelled flight from Munich? Here’s what you should know.
Instead of a cash refund, the airline may try to give you a travel voucher. The following are the reasons we advise against accepting travel vouchers:
You must continue using the same airline if you accept a travel voucher. The airline may also establish a time frame by which you must redeem the voucher.
You can encounter difficulties getting your money back if the airline declares bankruptcy.

Extraordinary circumstances disrupted my Munich flight — can the airline really deny my claim?
Extraordinary circumstances are situations where the airline is not at fault for the flight's delay or cancellation. If any of the following apply to the delay or cancellation of your Amsterdam flight (please note that this list is not exhaustive), you are unlikely to be qualified for flight compensation:
Bad weather conditions, such as thick fog, heavy rain, or thunderstorms.
A strike, most often specifically within the aviation industry (for example, a strike of air traffic control workers at a specific airport).
However, a strike of the airline's crew is not considered an extraordinary circumstance!
Political circumstances, such as a terrorist attack or general security risk due to political unrest.
Natural disasters, including volcanic eruptions and hurricanes.
A collision between the aircraft and birds or other foreign objects.
An ill or unruly passenger.
Flight delays caused by the airport staff, such as extraordinarily long queues to security checks.

About Munich flights
The main international airport servicing Munich is Munich International - Franz Josef Strauß Airport (MUC). It boasts the densest network of domestic flights and great connectivity choices compared to other German airports. A quick minimum connection time and top-notch services and amenities are additional benefits. As the second base for Lufthansa and a Star Alliance hub, it is one of the busiest airports in Europe and the second busiest in Germany. Air Dolomiti, Condor, EuroWings, and TUI all have the city as one of their priority cities.
Munich is the priciest city in Germany, yet it's also very charming; perhaps it's this contrast that attracts tourists. Munich is home to the nation's 200-year-old bacchanalia, Oktoberfest, but it's also incredibly modern; it's the unofficial hub of publishing and technology in Europe. The city, which borders the Bavarian Alps and sits next to the River Isar, is awash in natural beauty, but its streets are also packed with man-made wonders like expensive retail stores and sparkling BMWs. Many go to Munich for both progressiveness and provinciality.
